Once, a long time ago, people knew when to plant seeds by watching the phases of the moon. The moon told them when to harvest. They knew when to hunt what by the light of the moon. They knew when to gather herbs/medicine. Women all menstruated exactly with her and the women gathered together away from the men and learned the lessons of the feminine. (Read THE RED TENT)

Women, especially watched her and followed her as she waned and waxed. When the moon was dark, they stayed in and were quiet and contemplative. If we were in ancient times, women would be gathering yet since the new moon. The moon is strongest for us during this time.
Scientists know that the moon affects our limbic system and that is our emotional quadrant of the medicine wheel. Our emotions are in an area with the most water and like the oceans are affected, so are we.
Since our whole Medicine Wheel is affected by having even one area is influenced, we can be out of balance if we are not aware and nurturing of all the four areas; physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual. We are universally connected to each other and to the moon. The three main signs of healing are Virgo (naturopathic healing), Scorpio (shadow and magic healing), and Pisces (compassion and acceptance), we need to really understand how those three work in our personal lives.
Getting to know more about astrology, the goddess, the moon, and their influences can help us be in balance and to live better lives where we fulfill our purpose more ‘purposefully’.
Today is a Cancer Moon influence, using the color Rose, and using thyme as herb for smudging or in our baking, etc.
